tape measures and disappointment.

500 59 24
                                    

out of the drawer
the tape measure
wandered again
into my hands
slipping through
my fingers
stretching
around my waist

it'll only disappoint me

i've been a bad girl
not keeping track
now look at
what's happened
the higher the number gets
the more fuel
my body has
to choke me with

i'll always be a disappointment
